    Fern, my white Boxer dog, is an accredited service dog under the 1992 DD act. She holds special access rights to be allowed to enter places most dogs cannot. This includes National Parks such as Chiltern Mt Piolet NP where Reedy Creek is located. Unless your dog is an accredited service animal they are not allowed to enter NP.
    Check your local regulations, as each state and territory is different, before you travel into or though NP with your dog. Here is the Parks Victoria website for those of you wishing to read up on Victoria's laws 👉 www.parks.vic.gov.au/things-t...

    Surprised you can find any gold with that detector with the giant brass balls you’ve got hanging around

      @ut000bs Год назад +1

      The 6000 isn't the best gold prospecting detector (my opinion) on the commercial market for nothing. It even has a brass balls discrimination setting.

    Endurance and diabetes are not a good match for finding gold. I need to have a few breaks during the day! I got bogged on my last trip and learned what not to do :) Not found any nuggets yet but getting better results panning thanks to your videos. Many thanks for taking me on your adventures😁

  • @brandonjackson1434
    @brandonjackson1434 Год назад +3

    That is so cool to have old mine site to find ,it looks like a great time hunting them out at then finding the good stuff,thank you for the adventure,I can't wait to see what's in the mine with the water at the entrance

  • @krakhedd
    @krakhedd Год назад +5

    If I see a spider, I try to catch and release outside.
    You wouldn't catch me dead walking into a mine in Australia w/ 1,000,000 or so spiders though, Chris!! :D All that iron you picked, now I know where it all went, cuz you've got cajones of steel amigo!! hehehe
    I hope you and Gadzy and Mick can work some of these old mines sometime. If you're pulling specimens like that out of their waste piles, there's probably a profitable business awaiting you guys. I know you do this as a hobby, but it'd be great to see you guys able to do it full-time, and of course share the videos with us so we can watch your efforts and progress!

    Ive had a fisher cz3d about 25 years now, my favorite metal detector i own f a half dozen, great Treasure Hunter! I find paystreaks, Chris, a scoop of fine gold connected from washing into an area. I put that scoop into a bucket & move on to pan it at home. Sure beats diging 6 feet holes with a drywasher!

  • @Aco747lyte
    @Aco747lyte Год назад

    That hole at 10:19 or thereabouts could house a rattler, or a scorpion which is why for precaution we always put in some flaming grass and twigs. That detector is great. I've had my GPZ700 since it came out and a couple of replacement coils later, paid itself back and is still going strong. Good vid!

    Don't worry about the snakes it's the wombats that are dangerous especially in a mine,

  • @robosock380
    @robosock380 Год назад +1

    Great vid mate. Thanks for showing how much of a multipurpose tool the Manscrape system really is. I never would have thought to use it for scraping out gold from the dirt before now. Nice haul, and stay safe out there mate.

    Hey Chris! Those days when it rains on you, I call them "Stinky sock days". That's when the rain drips off your head, runs down your back, through the crack of your butt and into your boots. Makes your socks stink! Hope you enjoy the humor and happy hunting!

    I know you know who I’m mentioning, to make it easier for you to bring to mind.

    Keep up the great finds and entertainment!

  • @stevenkelley9025
    @stevenkelley9025 Год назад

    Hey Chris, did you ever think of pumping the water out of the old mines to run a sluice? Looks like there ought to be enough to give it a good try. All you would need is a longer intake hose. However, you pump may not be big enough for the job! This is just a thought my friends and I had.

    Here in Gold Country California it's getting about just as hard to find good gold as well. But... occasionally hard work pays off.
    One time I cut my thumb while I was picking from a wall full of quartz. Week later I was told by the doctor that had to drain the infection that I had a "Felon of the Right Thumb" !!
    I don't wish that pain on anyone!! Not exactly sure what caused my "Felon" but ... Wear gloves when ever possible.
